ILWomen Questions:

How was your overall recruiting process?

Very Exciting, I enjoyed seeing what all the schools had to offer and what made each one unique.

What were the reasons behind your verbal commitment?

I couldn’t find one thing wrong with Florida, I couldn’t find anything wrong with my other choices either but just the atmosphere at UF made me feel so welcomed and every time I talked to anyone about UF my face would light up. I also love the coaching staff, they are all so kind and funny and really easy to talk to. Florida had everything and more than I ever wanted in a college and I feel that I have everything I would need to succeed in the future.

How would you describe your style of lacrosse?

I am a very aggressive player; I always give it my all out on the field. What I feel makes me different from other players is that I play with instinct and most of the time my instinct is right.

What aspect of your game are you most looking forward to improving on throughout your college career?

I’m looking forward to becoming a better well round player, offensively and defensively. I want to improve on my foot work and my speed. I’m really trying to improve my defense and perfect my arm and body positioning so I can get less fouls throughout the game.

What goals have you set for yourself for the remainder of your high school career?

I have set many goals for myself; the biggest being is to never stop improving my game. For the remainder of my high school career I want to bring my game to the next level and become more of a leader on and off the field.

Who are some lacrosse players that you have looked up to over the years?

My Dad played in high school at Ward Melville and then went and played in college at the University of Delaware and he shared his love for the game with me and my sister.

What is your favorite lacrosse memory?

I don’t have one specific memory; I love each time I step out on the field and play. My favorite is playing with my yellow jacket team over the summer. The girls I play with are also my best friends and we have the greatest time together.
